A vet slept on the floor of his surgery after a dog underwent major surgery this week.

Little Kilu endured a gruelling five-hour procedure on Monday evening after being attacked by two larger dogs.

The Yorkshire terrier sustained major injuries during the attack and the team at Vets4Pets, in Sutton Road, Maidstone, cancelled all routine appointments so they could pay full attention to the poorly pup.

Practice principal Ivan even took the step of setting up camp in the surgery’s prep room in order to monitor Kilu’s condition over night.

By the morning Kilu had pulled through and while still requiring treatment was on course to make a full recovery.
